About Louise

Louise Fineberg works from a person-centred way of relating. She encourages people to lead the pace and focus of each session and builds on their existing strengths. Her straightforward manner aims to make taking the first step feel easier for someone who is worried or unsure.

She has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Her practice focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and sleeping problems.

Background and approach

Louise also supports people with concerns such as body image, chronic pain and illness, fertility issues, hoarding and adjustment after separation. Therapy sessions are conversational and grounded in the client's lived experience. Louise uses client-centred techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with stress and emotional regulation, and psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated patterns that cause difficulty. Appointments usually involve exploring what feels most pressing right now and identifying small, practical steps forward. Louise aims to help people notice their strengths and try different ways of coping between sessions.

She explains therapeutic ideas in plain language and checks in regularly about whether the approach is helpful. Taking that first step can feel daunting. Louise offers a calm, steady approach and works alongside people as they make changes.

If someone wants a thoughtful, down-to-earth counsellor, she provides that support and practical focus.

How Louise’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves active listening, reflecting back what matters, and helping people draw on their own strengths to solve problems. This approach is useful for relationship problems, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It can help with stress, sleeping difficulties, anxiety and coping after loss by building steady attention to the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as needed so sessions feel useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life or mobility needs and allow people to choose what feels most practical for them.
